Islam - Protesters storm Muslim Council

ITV reports "Suspected Islamic militants have stormed a news conference being organised by the Muslim Council of Britain."

But a group of 15 men, two of them masked, broke into the mosque in Regent's Park and amid chaotic scenes condemned the Muslim Council as a "mouthpiece" for Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George W Bush.

The men said they represented the Saviour Sect, believed to contain former members of the disbanded al-Muhajiroun group and be headed by firebrand cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed. [...]

One protester threw a punch at MCB secretary general Iqbal Sacranie but only succeeded in knocking off his glasses.


As I've said before:

There's Islam again, that religion of tolerance and peace. Strange, just yesterday the UK Met Chief assured us that 99.9% of Muslims are law-abiding.


The Muslim Council of Britain is considered "the" moderate voice of Muslims in Britain. Here is what their leader, Iqbal Sacranie, recently had to say about Muslim terrorists.

'There is no such thing as an Islamic terrorist. This is deeply offensive.


Still feel that way Iqbal?

UPDATE

Is it the case, as the Met Chief puts it, that 99.9% of Muslims are law abiding or is it a case of the police turning a blind eye?

The group shouted militant slogans from the centre of the meeting room, surrounded by the media. As they left they were unchallenged by around 10 police officers standing outside.
